The beginning of the end for “A” through “E” tickets was the 1971 opening of
Magic Mountain (now Six Flags Magic Mountain), northwest of Los Angeles.
Magic Mountain sold all-inclusive admission tickets for $5.00.

Tickets were phased out in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
First, Magic Kingdom Club members could buy unlimited passports.
Then the option was extended to other guests.

Tickets were eliminated in June 1982, when
all-inclusive passports became the only form of Disneyland admission.

After ride tickets were eliminated, guests could apply unused tickets towards
the cost of passports.

Disneyland still allows guests to apply old, unused “A” through “E” tickets and old, unused
gate admission tickets toward current passports. But its hardly
worth the trouble to save a dollar or two.

Collectors pay good money for completely unused ticket books—with park admission still attached—but they dont pay much
for partially used books because these are fairly common.

The best thing to do with old tickets is to hold onto them as keepsakes of the past.
